What is a Shark?
Sharks are powerful fish that have lived in the oceans for more than 400 million years. They don’t have bones, just strong cartilage like what’s in your nose and ears. Sharks can be tiny like the dwarf lantern shark or huge like the whale shark. Most sharks live in saltwater, but some can swim into rivers too. Sharks use their sharp teeth to catch fish, seals, and other sea creatures, but they don’t usually bother people. They have amazing senses that help them feel movement in the water and smell food from far away. Sharks breathe through gills, and many need to keep swimming to stay alive. With their sleek bodies and strong tails, sharks are some of the fastest swimmers in the ocean, and each type has its own special way of surviving in the wild.
